Paying attention to current environmental sensations contributes to the discovery of new ideas and relationships, as well as the development of an individual’s self-capacity and psychological resources. In contrast, mind wandering, which involves shifting attention—either deliberately or involuntarily—from external sensations to self-generated thoughts in various contexts and contents, may prevent individuals from experiencing such positive psychological changes. This study aims to examine the indirect relationships of attachment dimensions with authenticity and self-concept clarity through mind wandering. The research involved 334 participants (241 females, 93 males; average age = 25.04), recruited through a convenience sampling method. In this online research, we used various tools for data collection, including a Demographic Information Form, Experiences in Close Relationships Questionnaire—Revised, Authenticity Scale, Self-Concept Clarity Scale, Mind Excessively Wandering Scale, Deliberate and Spontaneous Mind Wandering Scale, and Deliberate and Spontaneous Mind Wandering in Positive/Negative Experiences Form. We conducted hypothesis testing through structural equation modeling. The findings indicated that the relationships between attachment anxiety and both authenticity and self-concept clarity were explained by excessive and involuntary mind wandering. In these indirect relationships, involuntary mind wandering, particularly during positive experiences, played a more decisive role. Moreover, deliberate mind wandering in positive situations explained the relationships of both attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance with self-related outcomes. We discussed these connections within the framework of Attachment Theory and the “Broaden-and-Build” theory, which examines how positive emotions contribute to the development of enduring personal strengths.

Bağlanma boyutları ile otantiklik ve benlik belirginliği arasındaki dolaylı ilişkiler: Zihin gezinmesinin rolü

Öz

Mevcut çevresel duyumlara dikkat etmek, yeni fikir ve ilişkilerin keşfedilmesine, bireyin kendilik kapasitesini ve psikolojik kaynaklarını geliştirmesine katkı sağlar. Buna karşın çevreden gelen duyumları göz ardı ederek dikkatin, bireyin kendi ürettiği farklı bağlam ve içeriklerdeki düşüncelere istemli ya da istemsiz şekilde kaymasına neden olan zihin gezinmesi, bireyi bu tür olumlu psikolojik değişimlerden alıkoyabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, bağlanma boyutları ile otantiklik ve benlik belirginliği arasındaki, zihin gezinmesine bağlı dolaylı ilişkileri incelemektir. Araştırma örneklemini kolay erişilebilirlik yöntemiyle ulaşılan 334 (241 kadın, 93 erkek; Ort.Yaş = 25.04) katılımcı oluşturmaktadır. Çevrim içi ortamda yürütülen araştırmada veri toplama amacıyla Demografik Bilgi Formu, Yakın İlişkilerde Yaşantılar Envanteri-II, Otantiklik Ölçeği, Benlik Belirginliği Ölçeği, Aşırı Zihinsel Gezinme Ölçeği, Zihnin İstemli ve İstemsiz Gezinmesi Ölçeği ile Olumlu/Olumsuz Deneyimlerde İstemli ve İstemsiz Zihin Gezinmesi Formu kullanılmıştır. Yapısal eşitlik modellemesi kullanılarak hipotez testi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular, bağlanma kaygısı ile otantiklik ve benlik belirginliği arasındaki ilişkilerin aşırı ve istemsiz zihin gezinmesiyle açıklandığını göstermektedir. Bu dolaylı ilişkilerde, zihnin özellikle olumlu deneyimler sırasında istemsizce gezinmesi daha belirleyici bir rol oynamaktadır. Bunun yanı sıra, olumlu durumlarda yapılan istemli zihin gezinmesi, hem bağlanma kaygısının hem de bağlanma kaçınmasının benlik çıktıları ile olan ilişkilerini açıklamaktadır. Zihin gezinmesi ile otantiklik ve benlik belirginliği arasındaki ilişkiler Bağlanma Kuramı ve olumlu duygusal yaşantıların kalıcı kişisel kaynakların gelişimine katkılarını inceleyen “Genişlet ve İnşa Et” Kuramı çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır.
